Description Robert Schweikert 2011-03-08 21:35:31 UTC

After upgrading to 11.4 via "zypper dup" I am unable to start "yast2" from a terminal window. I am getting the following error:

**
GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2279:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)


To reproduce:
- Log into GNOME as "regular" user
- Start a terminal session (I am using gnome-terminal)
- Become root ('su')
- Execute 'yast2'

The above error message is displayed.

These message are also displayed when running 

-> zypper in SOME-PACKAGE

Comment 2 Robert Schweikert 2011-03-08 23:33:37 UTC

A workaround is to use the following command:

xdg-su -c "/sbin/YaST2"
